After an hour-long search, you have found the perfect Barong design for your upcoming special occasion—now you are wondering if the Barong will be ready on time.  It’s a common concern people have when the occasion is just around the corner. While every custom Barong is unique, understanding what goes into the making process can give you the right idea of the timeline and help you stay ahead and avoid any last-minute stress. 

Why Every Custom Barong Has a Different Timeline

Instead of ready-to-wear clothing, a custom Barong is designed specifically for you. From taking measurements to selecting the fabric of your choice and embroidery, every little detail is carefully planned to create the garment that resonates with your comfort and looks its best. However, as every order is different, production times can vary. 

Here are some common factors: 

• The Design You Choose Matters: A basic Barong that involves little embroidery will be easier and quicker to make than one that has very detailed designs or personal touches. The more workmanship required, the longer the time required for completion.
• Accurate Measurements Are Critical: A customized Barong can only turn out well if it fits correctly. Having correct measurements—and making sure there’s adequate time for adjustments will ensure your Barong turns out precisely the way you want it.
• Busier Periods Can Impact Custom Orders: Some of the busiest seasons include weddings, graduations, and Filipino holidays. During these times, a custom Barong could take much longer simply because more people need their Barong on these very important dates.
• Order Early To Have Piece Of Mind: When you know your special day in advance, it is always best to place your order early rather than late. This ensures that you have plenty of time to select fabric, embroidery and design styles.

A Few Points Before Placing Your Order

To make this process easy for you:

• Try ordering early, especially for weddings and formal occasions.
• Measure yourself and recheck before ordering.
• Tell us about the date of your event and get the best advice.
• Give yourselves a bit of extra time in case there is a need for a fitting or alteration.
